  • Time for Fallbrook to have its Climate Action Plan

    Updated May 12, 2016

Nothing is guaranteed, but climate action is risk mitigation insurance that we need to assign ourselves. The county has no climate action plan but now wants to engage the public in the development of one. County contact for notifications is [email protected] and (858) 694-2216. The...
